Oxazine compound, composition and cured product

ABSTRACT

The present invention provides an oxazine compound having a specific structure, which contains a group having an aromatic ring structure and a plurality of specified carbon-carbon triple bond structure. The present invention further provides a composition containing the oxazine compound having a specific structure of the present invention, a cured product containing the composition, and a laminate having the layer of the cured product. The present invention further still provides a composition for a heat-resistant material and a composition for an electronic material, which contain the composition containing the oxazine compound of the present invention.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an oxazine compound excellent in heat resistance, dielectric properties, and low hygroscopicity, a composition, a cured product, and a laminate each containing the oxazine compound. The present invention further relates to a heat-resistant material and a heat-resistant member, and an electronic material and an electronic member each containing the oxazine compound.

BACKGROUND ART

Various resins such as an epoxy resin, a cyanate ester resin, a bismaleimide-triazine resin, and a benzoxazine resin have been used as a resin material for an electronic component used for a semiconductor sealing material and an insulating layer for a multilayer printed board, and in recent years, in various applications, particularly in most-advanced electronic materials applications, materials and compositions which realize further improvement in performance such as heat resistance and dielectric properties and exhibit low moisture absorptivity have been required.

Among them, benzoxazine, which can be easily prepared by combining a phenol compound, an amine compound, and formaldehyde, undergoes ring-opening polymerization by heating by itself, and exhibits high heat resistance and low linear expansion due to a strong hydrogen bonding structure formed in a crosslinked structure. From this reason, nawadays, the benzoxazine is not only examined for the above-mentioned application of electric materials, but also attracts attention as a resin material for next generation devices typified by SiC power semiconductors.

As benzoxazine in the related art, benzoxazines prepared from a bifunctional phenol such as bisphenol F and bisphenol A and aniline are disclosed in PTL 1 and PTL 2. However, since an aniline-derived component is generated as a decomposed gas at the time of ring-opening of oxazine, the thermal decomposition resistance which is an index of long-term thermal durability has not reached a level required in recent years, and thus further improvement and performance improvement are strongly desired.

3. Printed Circuit Board

Examples of a method of obtaining a printed circuit board from the composition of the present invention include a method of laminating the above prepregs in a conventional manner, and appropriately laminating a copper foil, and heating and crimping the laminate at 170° C. to 300° C. under pressure of 1 to 10 MPa for 10 minutes to 3 hours.

4. Build-Up Substrate

As a method of obtaining a build-up substrate from the composition of the present invention, for example, the following steps can be exemplified. First, a step in which a circuit substrate on which a circuit is formed is coated with the composition appropriately containing a rubber, a filler, and the like blended therein by using a spray coating method, a curtain coating method, or the like, and then the coated circuit board is cured (step 1). Thereafter, a step in which a hole such as a predetermined through hole portion is drilled, if necessary, then a surface is treated with a roughening agent, the surface is subjected to hot water washing so as to form irregularities, and a plating treatment with metal such as copper is performed (step 2). A step in which such operations are sequentially repeated as desired, and the resin insulating layer and the conductor layers of the predetermined circuit pattern are alternately built up (step 3). Note that, the drilling of the through hole portion is performed after forming the outermost resin insulating layer. Further, in the build-up substrate of the present invention, a resin-coated copper foil obtained by semi-curing the resin composition on a copper foil is heated and pressed onto a circuit board on which a circuit is formed at 170° C. to 300° C., thereby enabling the formation of a build-up substrate while omitting a step of forming a roughened surface and a plating treatment.

5. Build-Up Film

As a method of obtaining a build-up film from the composition of the present invention, a method of producing a layer (X) of the composition formed by coating the surface of a support film (Y) as a base material with the composition and further drying the organic solvent by heating, hot air blowing or the like can be exemplified.

Examples of the organic solvent used here include ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and cyclohexanone, acetate esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, cellosolve acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, and carbitol acetate, carbitols such as cellosolve and butyl carbitol, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide, and N-methyl pyrrolidone are preferably used, and, it is preferable to use it in a proportion that the nonvolatile content is 30% to 60% by mass.

The thickness of the layer (X) to be formed is generally equal to or larger than the thickness of the conductor layer. The thickness of the conductor layer of the circuit board is generally 5 to 70 μm, and thus the thickness of the resin composition layer is preferably 10 to 100 μm. The layer (X) of the composition in the present invention may be protected with a protective film described later. Protection with a protective film makes it possible to prevent adhesion of dust or scratches and the like to the surface of the resin composition layer.

Examples of the support film and the protective film include polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter, abbreviated as “PET” in some cases), polyester such as polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate, and polyimide, release paper, and metal foil such as copper foil and aluminum foil. In addition to the mud treatment and the corona treatment, the support film and the protective film may be subjected to a release treatment. The thickness of the support film is not particularly limited, and is generally 10 to 150 μm, and is preferably 25 to 50 μm. The thickness of the protective film is preferably 1 to 40 μm.

The support film (Y) is peeled off after being laminated on a circuit board or after forming an insulating layer by heat curing. Since the support film (Y) is peeled off after the curable resin composition layer constituting the build-up film is cured by heating, adhesion of dust and the like in the curing step can be prevented. In the case of peeling after curing, the support film is generally subjected to the releasing treatment in advance.

A multilayer printed circuit board can be produced using the build-up film obtained as described above. For example, in the case where the layer (X) is protected with a protective film, after separating it therefrom, the layer (X) is laminated on one side or both sides of the circuit board, for example, by a vacuum lamination method, such that the layer (X) is in direct contact with the circuit board. The method of lamination may be batch type or continuous type with roll. If necessary, the build-up film and the circuit board may be heated (pre-heated) before laminating. As to the conditions of the lamination, a crimping temperature (lamination temperature) is preferably 70° C. to 140° C., a crimping pressure is preferably 1 to 11 kgf/cm² (9.8×104 to 107.9×104 N/m²), and the lamination is preferably performed under reduced pressure such as air pressure of 20 mmHg (26.7 hPa) or less.

As a method of obtaining a conductive paste from the composition of the present invention, for example, a method of dispersing conductive particles in the composition can be exemplified. Depending on the kinds of conductive particles used, the conductive paste can be a circuit connection paste resin composition or an anisotropic conductive adhesive.
